CARREL, Jean Baptists Nicolas
Armand, French writer. B. May 8, 1800.
Ed. Eouen College and the military school
of St. Cyr. He served in the French army,
and was in 1823 condemned to death for
taking part in the Spanish Eevolution, but
he escaped. He then took to letters and
journalism, was a founder and co-editor of
Le National, and one of the chief promoters
of the July Eevolution. " No priest and
no church," he said when he was dying.

CARRIERE, Professor Moritz, German philosopher. B. Mar. 5, 1817. Ed. Giessen, Gottingen, and Berlin Universities. In 1849 he was appointed professor of philosophy at Giessen, and in 1853 at Munich. Professor Carriere follows Hegel in his earlier writings, but in his later works he professes a Pantheism (which he calls Theism) rather after the ideas of Fichte. Finite minds are, he says, acts of a Pantheistic divine will. D. Jan. 18, 1895.

In 1853 he was appointed professor of comparative anatomy at Leip zig University. Professor Carus, besides writing a number of important zoological works, translated Lewes s Physiology of Common Life (1860), Aristotle (1866), and the complete works of Darwin.

In 1827 he was appointed physician to the King, and in 1862 President of the Imperial Leopol- dinske-Karolinische Academy. He was a friend of Goethe, and he generally sub- 117
scribed to the Monistic or Pantheistic
philosophy. His scientific works are
numerous and important, and his Verglei-
chende Psychologic (1866) is regarded as
the foundation of the science of compara
tive psychology. D. July 28, 1869.
CARUS, Paul, Ph.D., American philo sophical writer. B. (Germany) July 18, 1852. Ed. Stettin Gymnasium, Strassburg University, and Tubingen (where he gradu ated). After teaching for some years at the Royal Cadet-Corps at Dresden, he in 1881 migrated to America. A teacher at first, he after a few years settled in Chicago, and devoted himself to the spread of the Monistic philosophy. His work was very generously endowed by his American father- in-law. His periodical, The Open Court, began in 1887, and, besides editing and constantly contributing to this and his more ambitious journal, The Monist, Dr. Carus has written a long series of works on philosophy and comparative religion. D. Feb. 11, 1919.
CASANOYA, Giovanni Jacques de Seingalt, Italian writer. B. Apr. 2, 1725. Ed. Padua. He entered the Church and received the minor orders.
